The Development Process

Whether you are creating a static HTML page or a ColdFusion application page, you follow the same iterative process:

• Write some code.
• Save the code to a document or page.
• View the page in a browser.
• Write some more code on the page.
• Save the page again.
• View it in a browser.
• and so on...

What we'll do here

During this chapter, gain familiarity with CFML and how ColdFusion Server processes CFML tags as you practice the development process.

During subsequent chapters, you will gain familiarity with the procedures that the tags perform.

During this chapter, you will learn how to:

• Create a ColdFusion application page by writing some code in Allaire HomeSite.
• Save your application page under the Web root directory.
• View your page in a browser.
• Add a CFML tag to your page.
• Save changes.
• View your page in a browser.
• Add another CFML tag to your page.
• Save changes.
• View your page in a browser.
